The Days To Come

Chp. 33

*4 weeks later* (Jan 15)
Winnie's pov:
I stood in front of my peers, presenting my presentation on the state of California and how it became a state. After I finished my presentation, my classmates and teacher clapped, before I went and sat down at my desk. I opened up my notebook to a blank page, taking notes on everybody else's presentations.

*5 hours later*
My friend and I walked across the street from the middle school to the high school, since my mom worked there now. We walked into the school through the door by the auditorium, heading down to my mom's room. The middle school lets out an hour before the high school, so my mom still had kids in her room. I knocked on her door, letting Maddie go in before me, and I shut the door behind me after I walked in. We sat at the spare table at the back of my mom's room, working on our homework as she taught her class.

Jake's pov:
Today, was my baby sister's baby shower, since her baby is due next month. I helped Sailor set up the last of the decor, before we went to go and find Alaska. We found her sitting in the back room, wearing a long floral dress. She currently had no shoes on, meaning that her feet hurt really bad. I sat down next to her, rubbing her back. We all already knew that the baby was a girl and she was going to be named Ivory.

I carried the last of the presents to the nursery for my sister, before hugging her goodbye. I walked out of her house, getting into my car, before driving home.

Alaska's pov:
I laid in the hospital bed, with baby Ivory laying against my chest. It felt so nice finally having her here. Braden sat next to me with his head laying on my shoulder. Sailor came back from her car with a box in her hands. She handed Braden the box and he opened it, pulling out a blanket that had her name on it.

"I made it 2 months ago for the baby while I was at work," Sailor said, sitting down on the other side of me.

"Thank you, Sailor," I said, leaning over to hug her gently.

*a day later*
Today, Braden and I were bringing Ivory home from the hospital. I carried in the baby carrier as Braden carried in our bag, as well as the box that had the blanket that my sister had made for Ivory. I set the carrier onto the floor of the nursery, taking her out, setting down in the rocking chair that my mom had given us. Braden came into the nursery after he put our things away. A couple of hours later, we fed and changed Ivory, putting her down for a nap, before Braden and I went for one ourselves.

Kaiella's pov:
My sister and I sat in the photography studio for a photo shoot that we were doing. I sat in her chair, having Hailey do my hair. She curled my hair, spraying it with hairspray, before bobbypinning the braids she did to the back of my head. After Adam finished doing my sister's makeup, he came over to do mine. He used the Nabla poison garden palette. He used the shades berry bite, opera, and archetype to create a red eye look. After he set my makeup, I walked to the set, waiting for the photographer.

Michael's pov:
Luke and I laid in our bed, awake since it was 5:30, and he had to go to work. I snuggled in closer to him, not wanting to let him go because he was so warm.

"Baby, I have to get ready for work or else I'll end up late. I have to get things laminated," he said, pressing a kiss to my cheek.

"I know, but you're just so warm," I said, backing away a bit.

"I know I am, but I still have to go to work," he said, before getting out of bed.

He went over to his closet, pulling out a white dress shirt and a pair of dress pants. He put his shirt on, buttoning it up except the top 2. He then, took off the grey pajama bottoms that I had gotten him for Christmas, putting on his dress pants. I sat up in the bed, putting on my glasses, before going onto my phone. He put his laptop and phone into his bag, putting it on, before kissing me goodbye.

Summer's pov:
My parents and I were finally done getting rid of my sister Autumn's things. We had 2 yard sales to get the furniture and clothing that she owned. I took the last of the things I was taking home to my car, putting them into the trunk. When I got home, I put the things from the trunk into the house, putting them into boxes, since I was moving from New York City to Los Angeles. I was actually moving into the house that my brother had lived in, before he went to jail. It's actually down the street from where my niece who I haven't seen in several years lives.
